It should be the golden rulo pIac Liced not only in every household, but .throqghou the world. By helping one anlother, we not only remove thorns'roni the pathway, iind anxiety from the mind, but we feel a sonse of pleasure in our Dwn hearts, knowing we are doing it duty to a fellow-creature. A helping hand or an encouraging word is no loss to us, yet it is a bonefit to others. Who has not relt' the power, of this little son. en00:? Who has not needed the oncouragment and aid of a kind frien4 ? fow soothing when por plex'ed with some task that is mysteribus and* burdensome, to reel a gentle hand on the shoulder and hear a. kind voice whispering: 'o not feel .discouraged-I see your trouble -lbt me help you." What 'strength is inspired-what hope created-what sweet grati tude*is felt, and the groat diffietal ity is dissolved as dew' beneath the sunshine. Yes, let us help one another by endeavoring to strengthen and encourage the weak and lifting tlo burden of oAre from the weary and oppressed, that life may -glide smoothly on and the fount of bitterness yield sweet waters, and he whose wvilling hafnd Is ever ready to aid us, will reward our humble endeavors, and every good deed will be as "bread east upon the waters, to retur.n.after many days," if not to us, to those we love.

If it is swallow od'-rapidly and in hlrge auantities, It may produce undue dist,ension and pressure of the stomach, and interfere -with its functions and those of the surrounding organs. If the Water thus s wallowed he very cold, and the system at the same time be suffering from heat and fatigue, very serious results are apt to occur from the sudden shock. Water should always be drank slowly. By sipping, the desire for drink is more effectually gratified, and any desirable quan tity at any temperature may be drank Without injurious effects. Ice water in Summer is not objec. tionable if taken in this way. Water should not be drank at or soon after meals, as it interferes with the pro ess of digestion. KEEP COOL. "It is easy to say so," says one, "but how are you going to do it, this hot weather ?" I will tel] you. The clothing should be light and loose, and of suen a character that the air can readily pass through it. It ahould be changed often. Clothing wvorn through the day should not be worn at night. The entire body should b'e bathed overy day so 'as to keep the p ores open and the skin clean. Perspiration should not be checked, but encouraged, if one does not perspire easily. Perspiration noe ecessitates evaporation, and evapor ation cools. DIET, E4TC. Eat sparingly, and avoid every thing of a heating, stimulating, 01' irri tating character, as sal ts, splces, condiments, sweets, fats, tea, cof fee, tobacco; alchoholic drinks, &c. The diet should consist principall3 or entirely of fruits, berries and vegetables. The only proper drink is water. .Especially avoid eat ing moi'e than the system re quires,. as excess in amount of food Is one of the principal causes .o1 that lazy, listless, unomforta blo feelIng experienced by so man'y'duringhot weather'. Keep a clean conscience as well as a clean skin and r+man clothing, and don't got excited. If uncomforta bly warm at any time, immerse the hands and feet In co1ld water, or let a stream of cold water run upon the wvrists or ankles for a short time, or hold a pice of ice in the hands. This will soon cool th6'w'hole bodiy. A N l!!oAPE FtOM MosQUITOES. Hbw to ova^de the annojanoe of mosquitoes Is, -at this season a matter-of primary iniportahe.

If you do not love reading, still practice it till you do.love it; and you will soon become interested. In addition to the Bible, which we hope no mother will neglect, lot valuable books be read when they can be; but for those who have as little time as the housewife, news papers and magazines must form the staple reading, as the short articles and items arc well adapted to the spare moments that can be anatChedl here andi there. Woman must be intelligent, if she would win both respect and love from husband and children. She must constan tly improve if she would be what she should be, by no means considering education finished wvhen she becomes married." WoAnF, DaUNKAaDS-YOung friends, did you ever think who drunkards are ? The New-Hfamp shire Temperance Committee, In an ad drees to the ministers of that State, say, "Drunkards are gene rally drinking young men grown uip." If, then, there were. no drinking young men, there would be few drunkards. But where do the drlinking young men come from ? Why, of course, they come from the children. If all the chil dren, then, were pledged against the use of everything that can in toxiento, there would be no drink. ing y'oung men, and consequently but few it any dirunkards. "If not ruined young men, they probsbiy never would be. So they must be saved young, or not at all." Think of that, young friends, and take your stand on the side of of tom perance nowv. Remember that "Drunkards are commonly tdrinkcing young men grown up." And these dirinking young ;ietn are commonly unpledged children' grown into young men. That is weo trust all those who, when obile tiron, pledged themselves to total obstinence and have rrlatted faithful to their promide--ood A Dater oneb'said td'So6duat4e; nYou'ean not stand oni o*lh '3 ' ed be'pkUacpher, 4bq ' &In""To.4ge 11Q4 - A studer9u# young,Dpen fnlo SWeet Iasses. *ire We COnfing to I1pOerlal .

HINTS TO COTTON PLANTERS.--If you can benefit any of your many pubecribors, by inserting the en closed hints to cotton planters, please to do so. It is not kiown to u,very cotton planter, to what extent the cotton plant can be improved. I will give my ex. perience. Some ten or twelve years ago, I bought of Mr. David Diickson Fome of his improved cotton seed. He showed me how he selected and improvell the cotton. I fol lowed his directions. and ex perienced no difficulty in improv. ing the cotton, but found it very hard, or rather out of' my power to kee p it pure, until I fell upon the plan of' thinning the cotton after it mquaredl, and before it bloomed. I selected every boll every year with my own fingers, and yet would get some impure or mongrel stalks, until I thinned as above-taking care to pull up the poorly squared stalks. I need not attempt to describe how susceptible of' improvement the cotton plant is. Suffico it to say, I am satisfied I improve on it every year. I pick from the best ptalks the choicest bolls--having respect at the same time, to those with most lint, and pre'ferring those with small white seed. Perhaps some one may tell ua through the Cultivator next fall, how to increase the lint and re duce the wclght of the seed. If that hQs to be done, (as I think it will,) by pt'diportionin the stand to t116 strength of thesodl , when the plaitr should alwaye take his bead With him in th efield.
